Lekker met Merol

Writer and rapper Sticks (Junte Uiterwijk, 1982) is one of the most influential and successful artists in the Netherlands. Over the past twenty years, Sticks has released more than 13 albums as a solo artist and in a group - including with Opgezwolle and the Fakkebrigade. To find out what lies behind Sticks' inexhaustible urge to create, documentary maker Matthijs van Camerijk decides to follow the Zwolle resident for two years. It appears to be a period in which Sticks impressively expands his impressive oeuvre, with four new projects.

In this documentary, we follow Zwangere Guy during a period of loneliness, pain, and healing. For the first time in his life, he has stopped using drugs and is facing his demons sober. Gorik hopes to come to terms with his past and return to the stage free from pain.
